ROTJ Production Workshop RSVP: https://forms.gle/wFcu5ZNVmQ7unF4h9

Then we head into the mix with two DJs who will be at AFTERLIGHT next Wednesday for ALAMUSIC Presents.  Starting off with Alex Jimenez, known by his DJ name He-Menace, is a DJ rooted in both Colombian and Nicaraguan culture. The name “He-Menace” is a personal touch—a playful nod to the way his last name is pronounced, offering a unique connection between his identity and his art.

He-Menace’s musical journey began at the age of 17, when he was introduced to the world of raving. It was at this moment that his perspective on music was forever changed. Deep house quickly became his foundation, but his love for the genre led him to explore a wide range of sounds—from organic house to melodic techno, indie dance, and even tech house. This versatility is reflected in his sets, where he aims to take listeners on a journey through different rhythms and emotions.

In 2023, Alex decided to take his passion to the next level when he found a mixer at a local thrift store. Seeing it as a sign, he dove into DJing, and it wasn’t long before his energy and passion for music caught the attention of local venues. He became a resident DJ at Raindance Hostel in Ometepe, Nicaragua, where he spent a month building connections and sharing his sound. He also became a recurring face at Beyond City Beats and their open decks events, while playing at well-known venues like 56Underground and Alora. Along the way, Alex has performed at house parties, where he takes great joy in creating a space where people can connect, dance, and lose themselves in the music.

For He-Menace, DJing is about more than just playing songs; it’s about creating an experience. His aim is to offer others the same sense of awe and excitement he felt when he first discovered electronic music. Every set is an opportunity to build energy, sync with the crowd, and share the magic of the dancefloor. Through his music, He-Menace strives to leave a lasting impression on anyone who steps into his world.

Then we cap off the show with DOC FRAT, an Ottawa newcomer Doc is not what you would call your traditional newcomer. Having stepped into a DJ booth for the first time 14 years ago, he brings rebirth and newfound energy to his new home.

Formerly known as Krøna, Doc Frat has spent the last decade igniting dance floors across his native Quebec, from underground venues to arenas, warehouses, and the legendary Dagobert in Quebec City. He headlined countless events and shared the stage with industry heavyweights like OMNOM, Dave Summer, DLMT (DANSYN), Ryan Shepherd, and Cheat Codes, just to name a few. Beyond the booth, his work as a promoter, tour manager and talent buyer cemented his role in shaping the scene—most notoriously as one of the three masterminds behind Montreal’s infamous Empire Thursdays, a series of wild, unrelenting parties that left a mark on the city’s nightlife.

Now in 2025, Doc Frat steps into a new chapter, re-branding his musical identity and honing his production craft. His high-tempo sound—fusing garage, techno, and urban influences—drives his electrifying, technically precise performances. Whether behind the decks or in the studio, one thing is certain: Doc Frat is here to make noise.

Always on the hunt for the next new tune that brings all the feels, along with an arsenal of curated tracks from over the years, Mike’s mission is to spread the same emotions that each and every one of these tracks represent, and to connect everyone on the dance floor forming a singularity for that beautiful moment in time. 

In addition to playing other peoples music, for other people, Mike also spends his time working for, and helping throw various events in New England, Brooklyn, and San Francisco.

This will be Mike Incillo’s second time playing White Rabbit, but he’s no stranger to Ottawa or the crew. He’s been connected to the scene since 2005, having played multiple Sundaze afterhours at the legendary Mavericks — now known as Gridwrks.

The we hear the latest from CARLO LIO who joins Mike this Saturday at WHITE RABBIT.  Unequivocally leading the pack of talented Toronto producers, Carlo has utilized his trademark hypnotic house and techno sound to cement his status among today’s world-renowned electronic music artists.

Carlo developed his unique style of fast-paced deep tech-house music in the dark and unforgiving world of the Toronto underground club scene, and his hard work and dedication paid off in 2008, when Dubfire’s SCI+TEC imprint signed their first track with him, welcoming Carlo into the label family with open arms and usherinng in a period that has seen over a dozen successful releases. Over time, these tracks caught the eyes and ears of some of the biggest labels in the electronic music scene, allowing for further releases on Bedrock Records, MOOD, Desolat, Suara, Intec Digital, Mindshake, Inmotion and No.19 to name just a few.

One particular highlight occurred in 2011,when Dubfire and Oliver Hunteman commissioned him to remix the track “Diablo” for the renowned Cocoon Recordings, marking an impressive milestone in his career.

2015 was a standout year for Carlo in terms of releases, with a remix of Sian’s ‘’Diamond Shore’’ on Octopus Recordings, along with a huge remix of one of Basement Jaxx’s Beloved tracks ‘’House Scene’’ on their official Junto Remixed album. Late 2015 saw his most recent release on SCI+TEC with the pounding ‘’Type-O’’ EP, followed up with a much anticipated return to Suara with his ‘’Technicolour Boogie’’ EP which had remixes from Nicole Moudaber and Chus & Ceballos. On top of this, Carlo provided Adam Beyer’s Drumcode Radio with an exclusive one hour live from Stereo in Montreal.

2016 continued in the musical success of the year prior, with standout releases on KalukiMusik with “iLL Shit”, Davide Squillace’s This & That label with “All Things MustChange”, and a special collaboration entitled “Feeding the Rhythm” with Nathan Barato on Nic Fanciulli’s Saved Records.

She has quickly made a name for themself as a regular feature in the Ottawa underground scene, including sets at White Rabbit, Afterlight, WNDR, The 27 Club, and Probe. Festival appearances include Sideburn, Soulstice, Autumn Octave, and her recent mainstage debut at Black Rabbit Campout 2025. She has shared stages with notable artists including DJ CHUS, Amber Long and Setou & Senyo, and has been featured on radio shows including Ottawa Prog Vibes and Lost in Bass.

She regularly performs at top venues like City at Night, Gridwrks and 27 Club, sharing stages with renowned artists such as Pleasurekraft, Shay De Castro, Green Velvet and Return of the Jaded. Last summer, she made her debut on the festival circuit bringing high-energy sets to Camp Summerdaze and Front Republic Music Festival, and recently opened Riverside Festival ahead of Tiësto with ALAMUSIC.

Blending brooding basslines with ethereal, spacey melodies, MADISON likes to get deep, dark and dirty, and lost in the groove. With every set, MADISON hopes to inspire a sonic exploration of the human condition, encouraging listeners to find catharsis, connection, and an undying spirit of rebellion.

We begin with a deep, emotional, and atmospheric set from MARÉVA, an Ottawa-based DJ and event organizer known for blending dark melodies, intricate drum work, and haunting vocals into bass-driven journeys that resonate on a physical and emotional level. Influenced by years spent across multiple continents and early immersion in Moscow’s D&B scene, her sound reflects a wide musical palette and a commitment to the deeper side of electronic music.

We open the show with a new track from Husa & Zeyada, whose sound sits between indie rock, dance, and electronic music, woven together with English and Arabic lyrics and an open road experimental spirit. Their work is deeply inward and highly visual, unfolding alongside an ongoing illustrated comic world that gives shape to the curious and peculiar parts of the subconscious.
